protocol & host name ignored when creating action link

[johnciliberti]

On MVC 6 tried using ActionLink to create a link that includes the host name and protocal using the following code:
@Html.ActionLink("Secure Page","SecurePage","Home","https","mywebsite","",null,null)
results:
<a href="/Home/Contact">Secure Page</a>

On MVC 5 this same code results in:
<a href="https://mywebsite/Home/SecurePage">Secure Page</a>

Looking at the code in HtmlHelper.cs it looks like you are completely ignoring the parameters

    public HtmlString ActionLink(
            [NotNull] string linkText,
            string actionName,
            string controllerName,
            string protocol,
            string hostname,
            string fragment,
            object routeValues,
            object htmlAttributes)
        {
            var url = _urlHelper.Action(actionName, controllerName, routeValues);
            return GenerateLink(linkText, url, HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(htmlAttributes));
        }

/cc @rynowak ? looks like protocol, hostname and fragment parameters are all ignored.

@dougbu yes, the htmlhelper should be calling

_urlHelper.Action(actionName, controllerName, routeValues, protocol, hostname, fragment);
